My poem, Byzantium Gardens is published in Stencils Magazine

I’m honored to have been a participant and a published poem with this magazine.  Enjoy your reading.

Byzantium’s Garden

As I look upon the changing season,
The variety of colors from umber’s rich
Brown, fertile soil, going into hiatus for reason
Of the cold, cooling the ground, coloring a stitch
Of amber, yellow, gold, yellowish green,
All turning into nutrients for a fallow lean

Land in need of Amaranth to renew
Its vigor to produce a wonderland
After hibernation in winter, a review
Of the upcoming Byzantium garland
Of a garden, waiting, waiting patiently
For the right circumstance to grow wildly

In a rush to present faery
Flowers, a rainbow of colored plants,
Heliotrope, lilies, roses, carnations, covertly
Awaiting the cooling spring springing, like cats,

Into view grabbing your attention
By tuning the scene into an idyllic
Creation, where reverence to beautification

Is necessary for the purification
Of a heart filled with desperation

To be awakened into the translucence
Of a world enveloped in nacre opulence.

An opulence filled with Faith’s gratification.

Accolade for my poem,  Energy

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Energy

Everything gives off energy,
People give out vibes that are clingy
To their character, soul, and humbly
Vibrate at a frequency that’s seemly.
             Plants, shrubs, and trees are no different.
             Have you stood by vegetation not cement?
             Felt the energy emanating in a vent,
            Reaching out to reduce anxiety onto a splint?
As my tactile senses overtake me,
I feel energy all around me:
People, cars, trees, parks are tame
And engrossed in a game that’s not lame.
     As I touch a living plant, I feel
     Its need to enrobe me in its touch,
     Its simplicity and innocence that fill
     My fingertips with a current that’s a badge
                            Of honor, as not all have the same
                           Level of sensitivity to fall under
                           The wonderment of nature’s thrall, and name
                           Man as its destroyer without any rancor.
             The life force, energy, magnetic field
             Are all one and the same, as each
             Creature emanates a void that embraced
            Its emptiness by acknowledging its existence.

Accolade for my poem, Sky, Soil, God

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Sky, Soil, GOD

As I look above, the sky’s scintillating
Colors, whether sunrise, twighlight, sunset, or night
They inspire moods that vary, like colors devoting
Beauty to your every versatility,  like a kite
In flight, I realize, GOD, is all around
Doling out beauty for joy that’s found

In being beside you when times
Are exciting,  cheerful,  depressing,
When you look down upon ecosystems
Surrounding you with miracles, outstanding
In their simplicity: ant home, beehives,
Even larger predators, the need survives

In each one, human, animal, insect,
Knowing YOU’RE present everywhere
Above, below, and at our side. In fact,
That knowledge is what initiate
Our appreciation for all GOD’S creations,
Innately aware of your presence’s jubilations

That empower all to subjugate
Negativity with optimism, transforming, like sunrise,
Our core into being compassionately humane.

Accolade for my Haiku poem, Harmony

Thank you, administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Harmony

Spring breezes, cooling heat
Springing flowers, leaves, colors
Burgeoning  in life

Strive for harmony
Mingling man, nature, tech in
Cohesive unit

One  begs fortitude
Of the other’s imagined
Wonder of splendor

Accolade for my poem,  Red- Winged Blackbird

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Red- Winged Blackbird


Walking through High Park in May,
Watching the sun shining, while my heart’s gray,
The birds flit around, soaring, twittering,
Singing their songs of love and grieving

As they reflect spring colors in the Red-
Winged Blackbird, male, whose beautified
The sky with his colorful presence
And song of harmony with nature’s opulence.

He skims on the lake, greeting the loving
Swans, whose necks form a heart holding
On to their peaceful punion. The blackbird
Opens his wings and the red, yellow winged

Flighs back to the cherry blossoms
Whose white, pink, flowers calms
The disheartened souls without a qualm
As it promotes serenity that’s a balm

As their delicate transience
Is a reminder that life flashes with a purpose
Of acquiring wisdom, family, money,
To live a life of harmony like a monkey.

Diploma Certificate for my poem,  Best Friend

Thank you,  administrators,  for the honor and your hard work

Best Friend

Her shiny mahogany violin
Lays gently under her chin
As she strums lyrics of a magical
Build,  pleasing the listener in a sparkle

Of harmonious sounds transporting
Her into a veiled world, rosy, blessing
Its concordance in a cacophony
Of rhythms rumbling, hurtling freely,

Soaring into the sky, leaving stress
Behind a locked door that’ll impress
Those who wish the reality rather
Then the dreamy world of a conqueror.

She strums her harmonious melody,
Alone, in a forest filled with astoundingly
Cohesive creatures within nature’s
Bounty that she serenades with music’s layers

Of joy filled cries in reply to strumming
Violin notes flung into the breeze, melding
Soundlessly within the whistling
Air that rustles the leaves’ dancing.

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Weddingdress

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work.

Weddingdress

In a crowd, he’s become her anchor
In a life where anchorage has no harbor,
A refuge after an exhausting day,
She needs her home’s solitude to pray

That loss will be a long way away,
That the ecstasy felt as her weddingdress would flay
In the breeze, sending shivers that play
On her skin, a symphony of beauty that’ll flay

Any difficulties into crumbs, unconsequential
In its ability to destroy the partial
Power of love and faith that are palatial
In overcoming Insurmountable obstacles essential

To the development of morale, ethics,
Which solidify the anchor and home’s
Unity whose dock is the hearts
Divesting their impurities to be combined as ones.

Verses of Soul present my poem: Lonely Bench,  with this certificate

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work.

Lonely Bench

As the empty, lonely bench
Stands alone in the park’s empty lane
That was filled with pattering feet, clench
Their hands together, riding, running, fain

The need to socialize, expanding
Energy, that seems boundless,
Enjoying the freedom of summer, fleeting,
As those moments become heartless

Dissipating into the waiting emptiness
Of autumn’s fiery colors blessedly
Oblivious that summer’s cheer
Has receded into the sky’s grey, charcoaly

Horizon, never to return the same
But better, if one appreciates their
Significance: nature’s hibernation came
With a time in spring, rejuvenation’s care

That dares to bloom again,
From a seeming emptiness that’ll
Gain depth, strength,  beauty that’ll train
The eye into its wondrous refrain.
